NAME

       unibmp2hex - Bitmap graphics file to GNU Unifont .hex file converter

SYNOPSIS

       unibmp2hex [-phexpage] [-iinput_file.bmp] [-ooutput_file.hex] [-w]

DESCRIPTION

       unibmp2hex  reads  a  bitmap  produced by unihex2bmp before or after editing, and converts it back into a
       Unifont .hex format file.  The graphics file contains a block of 256 Unicode code points arranged in a 16
       by  16  grid.  Each code point appears in a 32 by 32 pixel grid.  Characters are 16 rows high, and 8, 16,
       or 31 (treated as 32) columns wide.

OPTIONS

       -p    Specify that the code points will be assigned to the 256 block space pagenum in the .hex file.   If
             not  specified,  unibmp2hex  will  determine  the  appropriate  block by reading the row and column
             headers.  Note that "page" is not a standard Unicode term.  It refers to an output bitmap  graphics
             page  of  16 by 16 code points.  If pagenum is greater than FF, the block resides above the Unicode
             Basic Multilingual Plane. In that event, the .hex file will contain eight  digit  hexadecimal  code
             points rather than the Unifont standard of four hexadecimal code points.

       -i    Specify the input file. The default is STDIN.

       -o    Specify the output file. The default is STDOUT.

       -w    Force all output .hex glyphs to be 16 pixels wide rather than dual width (8 or 16 pixels).

EXAMPLE

       Sample usage:

              unibmp2hex -imy_input_file.bmp -omy_output_file.hex

FILES

BUGS

       No  known  real  bugs  exist,  except that this software does not perform extensive error checking on its
       input files.  If they're not in the format of the original bitmapped output from unihex2bmp, all bets are
       off.

       If  the  output  file  is for a "page" containing space code points and the bitmap file squares for those
       code points are not empty, unibmp2hex preserves the graphics as they are drawn.
